The correct option is B. Congress and the States are responsible for passing Constitutional Amendments. If two-thirds of the states, or 34 of the 50 states, request it through their legislatures, Congress must convene a convention to propose amendments. Only when accepted by the legislatures or conventions of three-fourths of the states, or 38 of the 50 states, may amendments suggested by Congress or convention become legally binding.
James Madison proposed the amendment to Congress in 1789, and at that time it was sent to the states for ratification. However, it wasn't until 1992 that the needed three-quarters of the states approved the bill due to popular outrage over recurrent increases in congressional compensation.
There are two methods for submitting constitutional amendment proposals, according to Article V. Either the Congress, by a joint resolution approved by a two-thirds vote, or a convention called by the Congress in response to requests from two-thirds of the state legislatures may propose amendments.
